Checked up on the trailer today for the first time since winterizing. Does anyone else do this?

We live in a forested area and I have it in one of the only open areas we have on our property. I was mainly worried about field mice but no sign of the little varmints. Not sure if its the mint oil doing the job but it sure smells nice in there.

I also looked for any sign of leaks. Although I didn't expect any, its still a good feeling knowing its nice and dry. For those who are interested, I use an ADVO cover with the two vents cracked open. I also have a tub of damprid to suck up any condensation.

I checked my two 6-volt Trojans, which I just leave on the trailer with the batteries disconnected at the switch. My multimeter showed 12.6volts so that's about 89% charged, which is good.

The only issue I have is that I can't find the key to the hitch lock. We lost some keys around Thanksgiving and I think it was on that set. I'll have to try to get a replacement before spring comes. Oh, well. At least its an easy fix.

It is too depressing for me to go check on my trailer. It's only a 10 minute drive away to check on it but Camping season is still 4 away. It is probably good to check in case mice or other things have entered it.

Location: No longer own a Forest River product, but enjoy the info on this site

Had to run to the camper today to check the propane. I'll usually run out several times a winter to check on the camper or do a little project. The last time to check on the camper was to install a replacement LED bulb.
